Edwards and the Raiders will no longer play the Browns on Saturday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Monday at 5 p.m. ET.

Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within the Cleveland organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, the Browns will restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. Assuming the Week 15 game is played Monday as planned, Edwards and Las Vegas will face a quick turnaround for the Week 16 contest versus the Broncos, which is still expected to be played Sunday, Dec. 26 as scheduled.

Peoples-Jones and the Browns will no longer play the Raiders on Saturday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Monday at 5 p.m. ET.

Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within the Cleveland organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, the Browns will restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. Given that Jarvis Landry (illness) is one of the players who tested positive for the virus in recent days, he's uncertain to clear the necessary protocols ahead of Monday's contest. If Landry is out, Peoples-Jones could find himself as the No. 1 receiver in a depleted Cleveland offense that could also be without either of its top two quarterbacks in Baker Mayfield and Case Keenum, who tested positive Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.

Humphrey (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Rod Walker of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Humphrey missed last week's win over the Jets after a Thursday addition to the injury report, but he could make it back this Sunday after logging limited practices Thursday and Friday. Even if that happens, he'll only be the No. 3 receiver in an unimpressive passing offense, and with some risk of a game-time decision ahead of the 8:20 ET kickoff Sunday night. If Humphrey is out, Kenny Stills likely will fill in as the No. 3 receiver again.

Valdes-Scantling (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Baltimore, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

He appears on track to play after logging limited practices throughout the week. With Randall Cobb (groin) on IR for at least two more games and likely the rest of the regular season, both Valdes-Scantling and Allen Lazard have been in full-time roles alongside Davante Adams. The Packers and Ravens are scheduled for a 4:25 ET kickoff Sunday, with Amari Rodgers, Malik Taylor (abdomen) and Juwan Winfree the options to fill in at WR if Valdes-Scantling is inactive or limited.

Eskridge (foot) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

After all of Eskridge, DK Metcalf (foot/back) and Freddie Swain (ankle) were withheld from Seattle's first two practices of Week 15, the trio cleared up any concern about their availability for Seattle's upcoming game against the Rams by taking every rep during Friday's session. Even with the NFL announcing that the Seahawks-Rams matchup would be pushed back from Sunday to Tuesday due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within the Los Angeles organization, Seattle could still be without wideout Tyler Lockett (illness), who continues to experience symptoms after testing positive for the virus Thursday. If Lockett isn't cleared to play, Swain, Eskridge and Penny Hart would likely be in store for more reps alongside Metcalf.

Metcalf (foot/back) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Metcalf is thus in line to play Tuesday against the Rams, after the NFL announced earlier Friday that the Seattle-Los Angeles matchup would be pushed back two days due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within the Rams organization. The two-day delay should have the benefit of providing additional healing time for Metcalf, even though he was never in major jeopardy of sitting out had the game been played Sunday. At this stage, the bigger question is whether Seattle will have fellow wideout Tyler Lockett (illness) available for Week 15, after he was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday due to a positive test. If Lockett can't clear the necessary protocols in time for Tuesday's game, Metcalf would be locked in as quarterback Russell Wilson's clear top target.

Goodwin (foot) didn't participate in Friday's practice.

With two absences from practice to begin Week 15 prep, Goodwin will likely need to get back on the field in some fashion Saturday to have a realistic shot at playing Monday against the Vikings. While Goodwin has been out the past two games, Jakeem Grant and Damiere Byrd have both been able to pick up extra reps at receiver alongside Darnell Mooney and Allen Robinson (reserve/COVID-19 list).

Grant was a full participant in Friday's practice after sitting out Thursday's walk-through session due to an illness.

Grant was one of eight Bears who wasn't on the field Thursday on account of an illness. All but one of those players returned to the field Friday as full participants, temporarily alleviating some concern about a team-wide COVID-19 breakout. With that in mind, Grant should be ready to go for Monday's game against the Vikings. He's coming off a big Week 14 game in which he returned a punt for a touchdown and turned in his lone reception for a 46-yard score in the Bears' 45-30 loss to the Packers.
